Went here for a friends wedding and stayed overnight. All of the accommodation are converted servants quarters. I stayed in the blacksmiths quarters. Other friends stayed in the converted stables. Accommodation was basic but still clean. Our package included buffet breakfast, which was good. The winery has a golf course and conducts wine tours, but as I did not do... More

My parents & we stayed in two rooms in the stables of Coolangatta Estate just before NYE 2012. The rooms were both a good size, spacious bathrooms & it even had a small kitchen, with a good size fridge & good aircon. We especially loved the vintage furniture & the nods to the old uses of the rooms i.e. stables... More

I must admit first impressions of this place weren't particularly positive, however it did grow on us and we did enjoy our stay. Yes, the rooms and furniture are old, but that's what you'd expect in an historic site. The decor did fit well and it was nice to have something different fom the usual all-look -the-same hotel and /or... More

The Coolangatta Estate is set among gorgeous vineyards, and about ten minutes from some amazing beaches and the bric a brac shops of Berry. The service was friendly and the rooms were clean. However, there seems to be quite a difference in room standards. We travelled with friends and both parties were placed in "The Lodge" - the newest (built... More

I have been to Coolangatta Estate for many years since my children were little. We now go back each year in January with my kids, their spouses and now their children. Sure it's not 5 Star but it's clean, comfortable private and has a variety of activities to keep us busy. Tennis, pool, games room, BBQ, golf, croquet or bocce.... More

We stayed here following a function at the restaurant. We had a suite booked. Very spacious and comfortable but sparsely furnished. First impression was that we were not allocated a suite, until we saw other accommodation! The accommodation did not match the price paid. Perhaps they were relying on reputation or uniqueness. Having said that we had a very good... More

I want to put a disclaimer on this review. A lot of the small elements that bothered me about this place (the terrible muzak in the restaurant, the abrupt staff members and the bad decor) were raved about by a 60ish year old lady at the breakfast table behind ours. We are a couple in our 30s, so perhaps this... More

Enjoyed relaxing on our verandah with views of the vineyard, loved the cellar door and the wines were superb, had a long lunch in... More

Took a weekend off work and went down the coast with the wife and kids and what a fantastic weekend we had. Food was great, Friendly staff. Old decor, but was to be expected with the place being convict built and all. A bit too cold for the pool, but the games room was a hit with the kids. Big... More

We stayed one night and ate dinner at the restaurant (Alexander's). Food: was average quality and price. Staff: were very friendly but, in respect of service, they don't seem to have the skills necessary for hospitality and tourism. Star rating: there is no way that this property is 4-star. The fittings in all rooms we saw were cheap and old.... More
